Jim Traficant For President

I have shown that the best presidents are also the status presidents. William Howard Taft was our best president. Teddy Roosevelt and Bill Clinton were also fat presidents in they were also among our best presidents.

Unfortunately former Ohio congressman Jim Traficant is not eligible to be the president because he was convicted of a felony. These charges were probably trumped up and the man did not get a fair trial. Some of the jurors who convicted Jim Traficant admit now that they were afraid not to vote to convict him. Do your own research on that.

I never realized how fat Jim Traficant had gotten nor did I know how much he loved food. In the above video we see the former Congressman chowing down on ice cream. I really like seeing that. Once Jim got his fill of ice cream he gave a very interesting interview. He went over a lot of things in this interview but what struck me was his tax plan. Traficant believes that a 25% national retail sales tax is the best and most fair way to tax everyone. He believes eliminating the IRS and income tax and repealing the 16th amemndment which states, "The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.. He says the 25% national retail sales tax will more than cover the needs of the government. He also believes that we should do away with the 16th amendment. Traficant believes that eliminating all corporate tax and all income tax will cause companies to move back to the United States and I think he has a point.


Some key points he made about 25% national sales tax are that it is a voluntary tax. He pointed out that 25% of the cost of everything we buy is to pay tax on it. He pointed out that corporations don't pay taxes regardless of the rate because they merely passive costs of taxation on the consumer. He accurately pointed out that illegal aliens are not paying any income tax but they will have to pay sales tax on the items they buy. He also made a point that tourists who come to the United States will be paying the sales tax. He believes that the prices of items manufactured in the US would come down because lower corporate taxes would mean lower production costs. He points out that the elimination of income tax would give Americans of all income levels more disposable income.

Traficant like many other politicians expressed his disgust with the current tax code saying that it was too complicated and that 10 accountants can prepare a businesses taxes and they will all come out with a different number. He believes that a 25% national sales tax would be constitutional, simple and fair.


Please take the time to watch this very entertaining and informative video of Mr. Traficant pontificating on the economy and other things. I don't know if the man is a crook but my gut is telling me that he isn't.

I would like to see Jim Traficant get a show on the news channels or start his own YouTube channel. I think he is too tightly wound to be effective in today's Congress. I got a feeling he might fly off the handle and choke the crap out of some lying mealy mouth politician. As much fun as it would be to watch it would not help the people. 

I will be doing more research and reporting on him. I have yet to form much of an opinion about the man so for now I will merely report on him and hope that my readers make up their own minds. The Chef has a saying, "never trust a skinny Chef" but I think you would agree that we should also never trust a skinny politician. Julius Caesar learned that lesson the hard way.

Caesar:
Antonio!

Marcus Antonius:
Caesar?

Caesar:
Let me have men about me that are fat,
Sleek-headed men and such as sleep a-nights.
Yond Cassius has a lean and hungry look,
He thinks too much; such men are dangerous.

Lance Armstrong A Fat Hater

We all know that Lance Armstrong is a scumbag but we didn't know how big a scumbag he really was until the Oprah interview. I guess then it is no surprise that Armstrong is also a fat hater. The following is an excerpt from a Yahoo article:

"Good Lord, what a guy.

At one point Armstrong addressed Betsy Andreu, the wife of a former teammate Frankie Andreu, who testified that while lying in a hospital bed in 1996 Armstrong told his doctor that he had doped.

Over the years Lance and his henchman bullied and bruised Betsy relentlessly. They called her names. They tried to wipe her out. They, according to Betsy, blackballed her husband's career. She kept standing up and speaking out. There was even a voicemail from an Armstrong associate who said she hoped "somebody breaks a baseball bat over your head."

Lance knows he was terrible to Betsy so he said he called her the other day to begin making amends. You know for, among other things, calling her "crazy." He decided to tell Oprah about it, including what is apparently his idea of a sense of humor.

"I did call her crazy," he said. "I did. I did … I think she'd be OK with me saying this, I said, 'Listen, I called you crazy; I called you a bitch; I called you all of these things, but I never called you fat.' "

[Related: Lance Armstrong's admission could hurt cycling's Olympics future]

Then he smirked.

Now that's a novel way to gain forgiveness: make a fat joke about a woman on national television.

Needless to say, Betsy wasn't OK with him saying it.

"I guess we know why I was [a bitch] all these years, putting up with that," Betsy said on CNN on Thursday night after watching the clip. "How was I supposed to act? Sweet as apple pie? … That exchange right there, it has me furious."

Take a number Betsy.

Across the spectrum there is fury and regret. Mike Anderson, a former personal assistant who claims Lance tried to ruin him, avoided watching the interview. Then he inadvertently was exposed to a replayed segment while waiting to comment on CNN.

"I didn't want to hear his voice ever again," Anderson said.

Fellow riders say they wish they'd never hooked on with him. Support staff claim they wish they'd never taken a job. Sponsors are lining up to sue. Journalists who carried his water for years are writing they wish they'd never bought the lie."

Armstrong said the following about Betsy Andreu, " "I did call her crazy," he said. "I did. I did … I think she'd be OK with me saying this, I said, 'Listen, I called you crazy; I called you a bitch; I called you all of these things, but I never called you fat.' "

Let's think about this. He called her crazy. He called her a bitch and he even wanted someone to bash her skull with a baseball bat but in Armstrong's psychotic brain being fat is worse than being a crazy bitch who in his mind needs her skull cracked with a baseball bat. This is only a tiny piece of a fragment of the Armstrong story but I thought it was important to bring it up.

I have been critical of Oprah because she's a whiny fat girl but she handled Lance Armstrong masterfully. Kudos to Oprah.

What Will Happen to Armstrong Now?

My guess is NOTHING!

What Others Are Saying

mizofan 

He bullied, sued and tried to destroy people who told the truth about him, and he needs now to name all the people who helped him cheat, and together denied a fair chance and career to honest cyclists

michel7773 

Are you kidding me? People go to jail for selling a bit of marijuana. He, on the other hand, lied, cheated, perjured himself in a Federal Court, for over TEN years, as he made millions and millions of dollars (over 30 million dollars of American tax money from the Postal Service alone), he destroyed clean cyclists' careers who dared to tell the truth, he bribed officials and doctors, and now he'll be throwing his colleagues under the bus. What, do you want to give him another trophy? Unreal.

degeatest 

he is still the same arrogant cunt. he seems proud of what he has done. he should really just hang himself because he is a disgrace to all hard working people in this world.

Ken Telope 

He's only coming clean now because of the investigation and insurmountable evidence against him. If people hadn't started speaking up he'd have carried it with him to the grave, I'm sure.

Cenk Uygur of the Young Turks

Cenk Uygur is not just another political pundit. Unlike political pundits on the left but on the right Cenk sets himself apart from the pack simply by telling the truth. People like to characterize his views as liberal or progressive but if the political spectrum was what was in the 60s, 70s and 80s Cenk would be a moderate. It seems today to telling the truth and calling a liar a liar somehow makes one a liberal.

Earlier in life Cenk held what are considered conservative views. In fact in the 90s, he supported and voted for Republicans. By 2000 after seeing the hypocrisy of the Republican Party and its members he voted for Al Gore in 2000. He was logical enough to see that when it comes to most issues the Democrats are right and the Republicans are wrong. He saw Bill Clinton take a train wreck of an economy that he inherited from 12 years of Republican control and turn it into the longest sustained prosperity in the history of the United States.

You have to admire a man who can look at the facts and change his mind. Yet admire a man who doesn't hold his ideology with this zealotry a religious fanatic.

For a short time Cenk Uygur had a show on MSNBC and in spite of the fact that his show continued to rise in the ratings the suits, and I don't mean the Hart Schaffner Marx suits, I mean the Armani suits, and a tailor-made suits decided to take him off the air. Turns out that his honesty, integrity and hard-nosed style angered some of the criminal elite in Washington DC. Some piece of trash at MSNBC offered him a lot of money to take a less visible role on the corporate controlled prescription drug advertising whore of a network. They were afraid of what Cenk might say. They were afraid that he might tell the truth on members of the criminal elite so they tried to buy him. They threw a lot of money at him to stay but Cenk told them very nicely to go fark themselves.

Right now the only talking heads on MSNBC that I think is worth a shit are Ed Schultz and Chris Mathews. Pierce Morgan is mealymouthed, Lawrence O'Donnell is the same blowhard that Keith Olbermann was and Rachel Maddow is a bit too smug although she's not one to pull punches. Like Ed Schultz and Chris Matthews, Cenk is not afraid to call a punk a punk and a liar a liar. Like Ed Schultz, he doesn't mince words. If MSNBC wants to grow its audience they need to hire more honest and aggressive journalists and newsmen like Cenk. Cenk is a real guy who simply tells it like it is while offering an honest and fresh perspective.

I would urge my readers to subscribe to the Young Turks on you tube or follow him on Twitter. Or watch them on Current TV

What Schnatter needs is a bunch of angry screaming Sicilians putting a black hand on the side of his face and his balls in spaghetti sauce.

Buy your pizza from a place where working class people are not used as political pawns. Papa John's CEO says employees may lose hours to pay for Obamacare John Schnatter says Obamacare will increase price of pizza 10-14 cents. Actually, it's 3.4-4.6 cents, according to Forbes Papa John's Facing $250 Million Text Message Spam Lawsuit Koch-funded FreedomWorks: Stand with Papa John's (screw the workers) Politics with your pizza?

The guest house alone is 6000 square feet and is valued at over $7 million according to Zillow.com! Another interesting feature is the 22 car multi-level underground garage which has its very own “valet office”, car wash and a gigantic motorized turn table-driveway to help park stretch limousines.

UPDATE!

More Bad News For Papa Johns!

(NEWSER) – One large pepperoni, a text-message scandal, and a boycott on the side, please. Papa John's is in the middle of a big mess on two fronts, one in court and one in the media. Here's a look at both: LINK

• Papa John's is in the midst of a drawn-out $250 million class-action lawsuit for allegedly sending millions of unsolicited texts to customers back in 2010. Some plaintiffs allege that they received as many as 16 texts in a row, sometimes in the middle of the night, reportsCNN. They're suing for $500 per text, but could end up getting triple that pending the jury's decision.

• Meanwhile, Papa John's CEO John Schnatter is under fire after saying last week that, in the wake of Obama's win, franchise owners may opt to cut shifts for full-time employees to less than 30 hours per week to avoid having to offer them health benefits, as per ObamaCare, reports Kentucky's Courier-Journal.
• It didn't take long for reactions to start pouring in, with calls for a boycott of the pizza franchise. A Facebook Page for the protest already has more than 1,500 likes, and a Reddit post about the matter has garnered more than 4,000 comments.
• Caleb Melby, writing for Forbes, took a look at the math behind Schnatter's claims that ObamaCare will force him to hike pie prices by 10 to 14 cents. That math might work out if you only look at large pizza sales, but on average, he figures the increase should only be 3.4 to 4.6 cents a pie.
• On last night's Daily Show, Jon Stewart also did some (hasty) math, and figures that to offset health-care costs (which Schnatter estimates at $8 million), Papa John's needs to sell another million or so pizzas. That should be easy, he says, since the company once ran a promo advertising 2 million free pizzas. He advises Schnatter to instead “take all the millions you donated for partisan political purposes and pump it back" into health-care advances that could be good for business.
• Not everyone is hating on Papa John's, however. More than 14,000 Facebook users have RSVPed to aNational Papa John's Appreciation Day for this Friday, started by a group called Reboot USA, which compares it to the Chick-fil-A frenzy back in August. Supporters are urged to buy an extra pizza and donate it to someone in need.

UPDATE: What real Pizza Loves Think Of Papa Johns Pizza

That "better ingredients, better pizza" mantra might work in the boonies, but when there's actual pizza nearby, you're exposed.  And it's not like they have to compete with NYC pizza here.  Garbage ingredients, garbage pizza.  Service with a smile?  No dice!  Requests for extra sauce results in nearly no sauce.  The crust has more flavor than the cheese.  The condiments... BEST ingredients?  Are you out of your mind?  Bland and processed, at best.  If you're in the area and need pizza, try Dagwood's or Earth, Wind & Flour, or nearly anything else (except Dominoes and Pizza Hut).

(As a side note, why are all of the national garbage chains (Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, Dominoes) run by hard line right wingers?  I'm not attacking their politics, I just want to know what conservative mindsets and crap pizza have in common...)

BUGS ON PIZZA!

I'll make this brief:

I found a dead (cooked) spider in my pizza.  I called to complain.  They prepared to send me a new pizza.

"No, I don't want a new pizza.  I'm trying not to throw up here.  I just want to tell you this so you clean up your ovens and your kitchen."

I will never order from here again.  I'm not sure I'll ever be able to eat Papa John's pizza again.

Papa Johns Can Make you DEATHLY ILL!

UPDATE! I Fat Bastardo have eaten a lot of pizza including Papa Johns. Papa Johns is the worst. Fatlings like to get the most bang for the buck and ordering delivery pizza is not cost effective. I have eaten every frozen pizza and everyone of them is far superior to Papa Johns and they cost less. By the time a pizza delivered you can bake and be eating a frozen pizza.

Tombstone pizzas are fat guy approved!

Al Roker Pooped His Pants At White House

It has recently been revealed that the once roly-poly celebrity and weatherman Al Roker crapped his pants at the White House in 2002. Al Roker or the Roque as he's referred to by his fans claims to have accidentally pinched a loaf in his boxers while visiting Pres. George W. Bush in 2002. The Roque blames gastric bypass surgery for causing an inability to control his bowels and of course that is a reasonable explanation because many people who get gastric bypass surgery are unable to control their bowel function. Then again, it could simply have been a very large wet fart.

Here Al Roker is queefing a fart!

"And I probably went off and ate something I wasn't supposed to. And as I'm walking to the press room … I gotta pass a little gas here. I'm walking by myself. Who's gonna know? Only a little something extra came out," - Al Roker-

I don't know the Roque's political stripe nor do I know about the stripes in his BVD's but another explanation could be that he was sending a message to President Bush. There are a lot of people who would like to leave former President Bush and his criminal vice president Dick Cheney a big smelly turd and with the incomplete digestion caused by ghastly bypass surgery that renders those BMs are most foul the wisecracking weatherman may have been sending President Bush a not-so-subtle message.

Perhaps the wily weatherman Al Rocher wanted to make a stink at the White House to send a message to Bush in protest of the invasion of Iraq and to show the Bush regime the inhumanity of biological and chemical weapons. Since most gastric bypass patients wear adult diapers I find it a bit suspicious that a man as smart as the Roque would not be wearing a Depends diaper. Logical truth of this is quite clear; Al Roker was sending the White House a message.

I can't finish this article without asking the question who's better the rotund Al Roker or the skinny and emaciated Al Roker. I will not offer an opinion on this, but instead I will let my readers decide.

UPDATE!

Our Internet reporter, Rotunda Hindenburg filed a freedom of information request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and forced Secret Service to turn over this photo of Al Roker's poop. Big Al was not honest when he said that the mess in his pants was a result of a rogue fart.

BOMBSHELL!

Fecalgate

What ended up in the newsman's pants was an extremely large stool that clearly could've been a threat to the President's safety and national security. We will work diligently to discover why this incident has been spun and played down. Not only do I smell turd I also smell a cover-up so I've contacted Alex Jones from Prison Planet and he has agreed to sniff around and get the poop on the poop.

Alex Jones, "You can't sweep something this big under the rug and closing the lid on something like this will not make it go away. Sources tell me that this is a mutant stool created by secret underground government lab in Flushing New York."

More on Fecal Gate  Fecal Gate begs bigger questions

By John Commode and Jean Papier

Sometimes, you just have to use your hand. Give it a good shake, and do what you think is right. You're allowed to stink, even if you're a Washington DC reporter. In fact, it's encouraged. And just because your job description doesn't say you should report the fact that  rectal sewage gushes into the Main Stream Media every day because a mammoth stool caused your ass  to jam, you probably should anyway.

It seems Fecal Gate may  be a case of covering up a controversy after all, though apparently it's too soon to say so definitively. 

Thankfully there are independent news sources like Bigger Fatter Politics were not afraid to venture into the putrid muck and report on the politics of the day. The mainstream media will try to polish this turd but with journalists like Fat Bastard of the award-winning bigger fatter politics and scatology experts like Alex Jones from Prison Planet shady government figures will be held accountable from the White House to the outhouse.
